Benefits of Reformer Pilates

In the pilates world, there are two distinct types of classes offered: Mat and Reformer. Unlike a mat class, which will usually be comprised of a large group of students exercising on the floor, a reformer class is much smaller, each student on their own reformer receiving individualised attention from a highly trained pilates instructor.

The adaptability of a reformer, its ability to be adjusted to an individual’s specific needs, help to increase the effectiveness of the pilates exercises while simultaneously keeping the students safe. Additionally, a reformer adds resistance to exercises, making the muscles perform at a higher, more refined level. Using a reformer also adds support where needed, which means that students with limited movement or physical abilities can comfortably be offered modifications.

Joseph Pilates a German born in 1883 developed this total, complete exercise method over the course of his lifetime dedicating himself to improving mental and physical wellbeing and health. As a young boy he was riddled with different illnesses including rickets and arthritis hence, seeking out a way to strengthen his body and mind. He developed his method rehabilitating soldiers after the First World War where he worked as an orderly in a hospital. An experiment that started by him attaching springs to the hospital bed frames to strengthen and support the patients muscles later developed into what we know know as the Reformer.

He later emigrated to the US where he worked with dancers opening his first studio in New York in the 1920’s. Dedicating his whole life to developing this system he called ‘Contrology’ Pilates developed hundreds of exercises incorporating ingenious equipment to strengthen the whole body.
